			<h3>What&#39;s new?</h3>

			<p>The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale&reg;, Fifth Edition (WAIS&reg;-5) is&nbsp;the most comprehensive and reliable assessment of cognitive ability. It&nbsp;features reduced administration time, updated norms, improved clinical utility, and improved user experience.<br />
			<br />
			The WAIS-5 is widely used in clinical, educational, correctional, and pharmaceutical research and in government settings.</p>

			<p>Co-normed with WMS&reg;-5, the WAIS-5 aims to increase the precision of IQ and memory comparisons.</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Relevant to today&rsquo;s population with new norms</li>
				<li>Reduced administration time for FSIQ and primary subtests</li>
				<li>Simplified administration and scoring directions</li>
				<li>Flexible with improved clinical utility and numerous ancillary index scores</li>
				<li>New expanded index scores for increased interpretive clarity</li>
				<li>New index scores for examinees with expressive language or motor difficulties</li>
				<li>Expanded construct coverage for working memory, fluid reasoning, and processing speed</li>
				<li>New later start points for those suspected of giftedness</li>
			</ul>

			<h3>Features</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>New later start points for those suspected of&nbsp;intellectual giftedness
				<ul>
					<li>Decreased testing time</li>
				</ul>
				</li>
				<li>New index scores for examinees with expressive or motor problems
				<ul>
					<li>Improved interpretive clarity</li>
					<li>Measure of ability not confounded by expressive language or motor problems</li>
				</ul>
				</li>
				<li>Separate visual spatial and fluid reasoning indexes
				<ul>
					<li>Purer measure of both constructs</li>
					<li>Improved interpretive clarity</li>
				</ul>
				</li>
				<li>Comprehensive measurement of working memory
				<ul>
					<li>Auditory, visual, spatial, capacity, and focus of attention</li>
					<li>Task that mimics real-world rate of speech</li>
				</ul>
				</li>
				<li>New quantitative reasoning index
				<ul>
					<li>Strong indicator of general intelligence and predictor of academic and career success</li>

					<li>Broader measures of the two cornerstones of intelligence</li>
				</ul>
				</li>
			</ul>

			<h3>The new WAIS-V subtests</h3>

			<ul>
				<li><strong>Set Relations:&nbsp;</strong>New Fluid Reasoning subtest that measures deductive reasoning and logical thinking.</li>
				<li><strong>Running Digits:&nbsp;</strong>New Working Memory subtest that measures auditory working memory that requires both flexibility in information processing and a progressive shift of attention.</li>
				<li><strong>Naming Speed Quantity:&nbsp;</strong>New Processing Speed subtest that measures numerical processing fluency and the ability to recognize and label quantities efficiently.</li>
				<li><strong>Spatial Addition:&nbsp;</strong>A measure of Visual Working Memory that measures visual-spatial working memory and requires storage, manipulation, and ability to ignore competing stimuli (also included on WMS&reg;&ndash;IV and WMS-5).</li>
				<li><strong>Symbol Span:&nbsp;</strong>A measure of Visual Working Memory that measures the capacity to hold a mental image of a design in mind and the relative spatial position on the page (also included on WMS&ndash;IV and WMS-5)</li>
